Pregnant Reese Witherspoon slips into black again as her bump takes shape

As her baby bump has increased in size, she has increasingly relied on a selection of black dresses.

And while today the actress, whose third child is due imminently, had once again opted for her tried and tested black frock and shoes combo, it seems she may be ready for a change.

After a quick dash to the supermarket, Reese Witherspoon popped into a boutique and appeared to be considering a hot pink number - perhaps for once the baby is born.

Planning ahead: The actress may be looking forward to a colourful, new post-pregnancy wardrobe

She has so far kept quiet about her exact due date, but it looks like Reese will be having her third child very soon.

The 36-year-old displayed her huge bump in another black number, a satin mini dress, as she headed out with husband Jim Toth and children Ava and Deacon in Brentwood, California, last night.

Reese wore her blonde hair tied back in a bun and again sensibly opted for flat black sandals as she made her way to the restaurant for dinner.

The This Means War actress is expecting her third child - her first with her second husband Toth.

And despite a scare which saw her briefly hospitalised last month, Reese appears to have coped well during her pregnancy.

However, according to reports, Reese has been suffering from a few unusual cravings.

A source said recently: 'Reese has been waking up at 3am and craving seaweed smoothies, pickles
and peanut butter all together, plus
chicken wings smothered in barbecue sauce.

'In the day, she only wants bananas and strawberry yoghurt – by the
litre. She usually sticks to a healthy diet so
she's hoping the cravings stop soon.'

Meanwhile, despite the fact that Reese has yet to have her baby, she has already signed up for one of her post-baby projects.

Reese has apparently committed to star in Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - the adaptation of John Gray's best-selling self-help book
for women, directed by big-screen newcomer Bryan Buckley.

relationship.

copies, becoming the best selling non-fiction hardcover book of all-time
after the Bible and the Koran.
